Employee Involvement
As a company, we support the places where we live and work, in part because they do so much to support us. We see this work in our communities as an expression of our values. It motivates and energizes our 30,000 employees who donate generously and volunteer for thousands of different organizations that are meaningful to them.
Ways We Give
- Community Connections Campaign. Each fall, employees have the chance to donate to as many as five charitable organizations of their choice with 100 percent of the contributions going directly to those organizations. These gifts can be enhanced by requesting a company matching gift, up to $500.
- Travelers Community Connections Grants. Employees outside of Hartford and St. Paul can apply for a Travelers Community Connections (TCC) Grant to volunteer with colleagues on a project in partnership with a nonprofit organization. The grants help our nonprofit partners achieve their goals with the help of Travelers volunteers.
- Volunteer Rewards Program. Travelers employees regularly volunteer during work hours and on personal time — and Travelers wants to reward their commitments. Employees receive incentives for logging their volunteer hours — no matter when they happen — including DonorsChoose.org gift cards, and up to $1,000 in Volunteer Match Grants to eligible nonprofit organizations.
